I think I did that. Here is my .zshrc:

#----------------------------------------------------------------------- 
---------------------------------------------
# The following lines were added by compinstall

zstyle ':completion:*' completer _complete
zstyle ':completion:*' completions 1
zstyle ':completion:*' expand prefix suffix
zstyle ':completion:*' format '%d'
zstyle ':completion:*' glob 1
zstyle ':completion:*' ignore-parents parent
zstyle ':completion:*' list-colors ${(s.:.)LS_COLORS}
zstyle ':completion:*' list-prompt '%SAt %p: Hit TAB for more, or the  
character to insert%s'
zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list '' 'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z}' 'r:|[]=*  
r:|=*' 'l:|=* r:|=*'
zstyle ':completion:*' max-errors 6 numeric
zstyle ':completion:*' menu select=1
zstyle ':completion:*' original false
zstyle ':completion:*' prompt 'Anzahl DEINER Tippfehler: %e'
zstyle ':completion:*' select-prompt '%SScrolling active: current  
selection at %p%s'
zstyle ':completion:*' substitute 1
zstyle ':completion:*' verbose false
zstyle :compinstall filename '/home/hanno/.zshrc'

#export RPS1="%M"

As you can see, I commented the export command, and ULALA :  I IS  
WOOOORKING        !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK. I promise :)

Yes. I would be interested in that too.
What is the correct way, to individualize my prompt ?

THANK YOU ALL, FOR YOUR HELP.
I was close to not-using the zsh anymore, you guys are great :)
